Established in 2013, Banco Azul has positioned itself as a niche institution with a strong focus on micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which now constitute nearly half of its total loan portfolio. This segment is highly underserved, as 35% of the MSMEs do not have proper access to financing.
Banco Azul’s green lending portfolio supports the growth of renewable energy and energy efficiency across the country. In 2023, the bank introduced a dedicated loan product for women entrepreneurs, which goes beyond finance by also offering training, advisory services and tailored life and health insurance.
